Smells

Monday, July 30, 2012 5:50:04 AM

Smells…of the freshly painted home, of the fuel lasting briefly over your house after a old car brisked away …of the earth after sudden torrent of rain in summers…and the assorted smell of the jangeri, banana , mallipu, and perfumes of guests lingering over a marriage home. And the smell of the Ponds powder mixed with the natural odour coming from the new born babies, the aroma of phenolic acid emanating from the old book and the peculiar smell emitting from the new clothes…every body likes those smell because they all endorse pros

perity and happiness......All rejoice when their noses encounter such smells…not to forget the odour coming from the tanneries in our areas which too guaranteed prosperity in our past

But we know that, the smell which is better than musk to Allah swt, is the smell coming from the mouth of a fasting pesrson.....
ref: Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 93, hadith no. 584

the night of Republic Day

**************
11:35 pm :: Yes it was always at the end of the day that we realised that the night has descended on us silently and gave the ample time to think that what we have been through all the nightmare under the sun and what should we do at the next sun rise. Thenight though darker and sometime even frightening, gaurantees us the space, rest and escape we need,
and plug in us to the recharger called sleep to rejunenate for the activities waiting for us. A good example of blessing in disguise. Then, only in this time when I feel nearer to my Creator and talk to Him
about all my worries and the help I need. I thank Him for he has selected me to do in this world andprovide my the noble and sacred objectives to live on. In these time of the year ending and the year beginning, this Orion (constellation) - the three stars in a angled line along with the four stars marking the four corners of distorted rectangle ...lingers over our
heads watching us sleeping from all the possible angles till 3:00 am. after that it got lost in the vastness of the sky to reappear again. I dont know why Egyptian phorahs were obsessed with this constellation, but it successfully fascinates me a lot unnecessarily....

Watching a Natgeo episode, i came to know that once in a year the three stars attain a position in the sky when they were exactly perpendicular to the three pyramids. They have built the pyramid in that way which required lot of calculation and observation, but the purpose and reasons for this time consuming exercise still remain unknown. oh....I must fetch some sleep.....though tomorrow would be a holiday - Republic Day..... I think this might be the first Republic Day when we indian started to wonder and ponder after that Delhi Rape, whether we really need this form of government at all .. Any way ...... good luck Indians ... maybe this time. A wish from an Indian!
